Scam Check by GoldApps

Check scams, links & numbers

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Suspicious message, unfamiliar link, or unknown caller? Scam Check spots common warning signs—clearly, privately, and right on your device. Scam Check helps you assess suspicious messages, links, screenshots, QR codes, and phone numbers before you respond. Paste an email, text message, or chat, or use a screenshot, the camera, or the built-in QR code scanner. The app checks for common scam indicators, including urgency, requests for passwords or personal information, unusual payment demands, remote-access requests, and suspicious web addresses. Detected phone numbers can also be checked online with privacy in mind. The number itself never leaves your device; only a cryptographic hash is sent. Results may include public enforcement information from Germany's Federal Network Agency and pseudonymous community reports. You get: • an easy-to-understand risk level • a transparent risk score • the warning signs that were detected • clear next steps • an overview of detected links • optional phone-number checks using cryptographic hashes • pseudonymous community reports about suspicious numbers • an optional local history of your checks • practical safety guidance Your content stays private: Analysis and text recognition run locally on your device. Messages, photos, QR content, and phone numbers are not sent to the developer. You can disable online phone checks at any time, and local history can be cleared or turned off completely. Scam Check is an informational tool and cannot guarantee that every result is correct. No report does not automatically mean a number or message is safe. If money, account credentials, or immediate harm are involved, contact your bank, the organization through an official channel you found independently, or local law enforcement.
